but you also have the labor that it takes and that's why they are asking for the volunteers. they can provide some of the materials. but the labor is what is really, really expensive here in san jose. and that's why they have gone to the private contractor to get a little bit better on the labor rate that way and also through volunteers. a lot of people are sickened by graffiti. they want do something about it. san jose has that option. >> all right, len ramirez in san jose, thank you. coming up, free birth control for women. the major health recommendation that's being called historic. >> it's an unnecessary risk that many take, driving without insurance. how bay area drivers can get low cost coverage. hello, and good evening from the cbs 5 weather center. what goes up certainly must come back down. the warmer day then the cooler air and when you should expect it as eyewitness news continues. ,,
